The family of a 20-year-old woman who died following a late night crash have set up a fundraising page to help cover the costs of her funeral.

Darcy Bruce-Lawrence was the passenger in a black Vauxhall Meriva which was involved in a collision in East Hill Road, Dartford, just before midnight on Friday.

Paramedics and an air ambulance were called to the scene of the crash but Darcy died at the scene.

Her mother, Donna Bruce, was also seriously injured in the accident. She was taken to King's College Hospital, in London, and remains in a stable condition.

Now, her family has set up a GoFundMe page for their "beautiful girl".

Writing in the description of the page, the organiser said: "Last night the unimaginable happened.

"In a car accident just before midnight on East Hill, Dartford, where our sister, Donna, sustained serious injuries, Donna’s beautiful daughter Darcy was also cruelly taken from us, far too soon, in the same collision."

"We cannot even begin to come to terms with this loss. We are broken..." - Family spokesman

"Donna’s hospital stay could be lengthy due to the severity of her fractures, meaning she and Dal will need deal with the tragic loss of Darcy alongside looking after baby Lulu and their other children - all the while handling huge financial pressure to cover lost work, childcare and travel expenses to London and back each day.

"More certain is the fact a day no parent ever hopes to face will not be too far away. I’m sure you know the average funeral costs in excess of £5000. It’s an expense we never ever considered.

"With this in mind we have started this this page as a way to show our love and support to Donna, Dal and the kids, and the wider family, in a practical way."

They have so far raised more than £2,400.

Darcy, daughter of the late Tony Lawrence, from Dartford, is survived by her three brothers, baby sister, stepfather Darren Newsome and her partner Ben Jones.

Her family have been left "absolutely heartbroken" by the tragedy.

A spokesman for the family said: "Darcy was the most beautiful girl you could ever wish to know. She was kind, thoughtful, funny and an amazing sister to baby Lula, and her brothers Ty, Albie and Billy.

"She loved to travel - especially with her beloved Ben.

"We cannot even begin to come to terms with this loss. We are broken.

"Your prayers are welcome at this time, for all concerned, but we ask that you respect our privacy and that of her boyfriend and his family, to allow us to mourn."
